I've used fullers earth cat litter in the garden and it behaves like any

Hi Stuart,

Someone just sent me this link which may be of interest:
http://www.srgc.org.uk/wisley/2008/100908/log.html

The good stuff is "Tesco Premium Cat Litter." Interesting discussion
about the cost of cat litter versus identical horticultural additive
(litter is 3 times cheaper).

Seems like it's very popular in certain quarters. I wonder if anyone
actually buys it for their cat!

Someone on that site says that the diatomite version he's tried can
withstand cycles of wet and dry. Now that would be interesting


Thanks Stuart! That's the page I originally had, but lost it some time
ago. Bookmarked now.

Actually I started out using My-Cat as referenced in the page, but it
disappeared so I switched to sepiolite which is not quite as good. But
now I see it was available at Mutant (not Mutan as the article wrongly
references) one of which has opened near here; so I'll go check it out
tomorrow. I need more anyway, just potted a lot more 3 liters...

The products I've been using certainly withstand many cycles. It really
is good stuff.
